Holy fucking ass shit that was the most annoying goddamn video I've seen all week
Lol. Yeah, but it was a review and a thorough one, and it happens live.

As I said "skipped" through. Also, I started on video 2, the one where they actually try it, so I might have been mean and linked a horrible video I didn't even watch. Still, I felt the series showcased enough problems to warrant linking. IE: In episode 6, where they get their replacement console and try to set it up. Three of them have to basically hide and curl up in fetal positions for the Xbox to actually recognize the person in the front as the correct owner of the console. Voice commands seem broken to the point of being next to pointless.

Anyone who have this console tried setting it up in a crowded environment?

Japanese third party exclusives
Putting aside Microsoft's absurdly awful run up to launch, this is what really sold me on a PS4. If there is going to be a next gen Dark Souls it is almost certainly going to come to Playstation first and I'll be damned if I miss out on that. Sony has done a good job making me feel good about my decision but ultimately all of that is secondary to the games I'm interested in.

Heh, I don't have $150 to go do that. I currently have $3.58 until the 3rd.
Thank god I've got investment income as a backup - living FI myself I get panicky that low (which happens occasionally). I can't imagine how panicked I'd be without the panic switch on a 3 day delay via the broker....

I hope you normally keep a slush account that's just tapped from the consolesyou got this month. If not start slushing some...

Kinda sorta, but never have very much. Will have a fair amount saved from December and January though since there's 0 things to buy. May pick up a 3DS XL case and a HDD for my PS4. Also loaned someone $185, but probably won't get that back for a few weeks.

Amazon already has Dragon's Crown at 30 bucks with prime shipping too. Shin Megami is still 40 bucks there though.

If you already bought the zelda bundle you can try to get it for $150 and then return it with your old receipt. May not be entirely ethical, but eh.

Ethical and target... While I guess target is slightly more ethical than Walmart I'm willing to bet they're still shady

Ya, hard for me to really care. I was planning on going to target sometime on Friday (not in the morning) so I'll probably check, hopefully no one will know its $150 since it's not in the ad

I really don't know why we are talking about DS, Vita and PS3 games in the next gen thread, but oh well

3DS and Vita are relevant, they're a major part of the generation. They may have started earlier, but they're going to be here for a long time. The 3DS has an amazing library that you really can't ignore too and the Vita is a major part of the PS4 and has quite a value with PS+.

It's also not a "next gen" thread anymore. It's now the Current generation. The PS3 is now part of the last generation, but for many people here it'll still be relevant for at least another 2 years as a lot of RPGs are still being released on it (there's a ton of them 2014 for it).

This thread needs more posts about the PC Master Race.

I mean, we _did_ win the poll.
